I had a good time yesterday at our small local show. Not many great deals but I did manage to find some things that I could use. I don’t bother going to the big shows anymore. Too many people and...

Why do we do this twice a year? Nobody has a good answer.

I’ve used that boolit in a beretta 92 and it worked ok. Seating depth was too low with the taper that most 9mm brass has so it was swaging down the boolit base some. Although it didn’t cause any...

I never thought about this before. Makes sense now that I think about it. A good cane would make a nice weapon against dogs or people.

One of my favorite shifts that I worked was at a nuclear plant. It was 4-10s but one week we would work Tuesday through Friday, the next week would be Monday through Thursday. So every other...
Nice shooting. I had a similar experience years ago with a lucky shot. We had chickens at the time and a fox had been eating a few but I could never catch it. One morning I was pulling out of my...
You are correct, my holster doesn’t have a trigger hole, so guess it is ok.
Wow, I didn’t know that about the holster! Thanks. Good thing I never put the gun in the holster and now I never will. Glad the ATF is out there keeping everyone safe.
The tiny cases are difficult to find. Out of the 100 I shot, I was only able to locate 73. They are so close to the size of a 22lr casing, it is difficult to tell them apart on the ground. I...

Maybe spark plug wires. Sounds like something in the ignition.
I don’t know why I have wanted one of thes for a long time, but I finally picked up a Beretta Jetfire 950 in 25 acp. They have always kind of fascinated me with the tip up barrel, decent single...

Out of stock now. I can’t believe people would be willing to pay that much for an off brand primer.

FedEx won’t let us commoners, non-FFL holders ship guns anymore. Check their website if you don’t believe me. I recently tried and was turned away. So UPS is now the only game in town.

I recently used PayPal to buy a boolit mold off this site. Two days went by with my payment marked "pending" on my end. This morning it was marked "completed" and PayPal took money from my account....

My post office usually doesn't have enough cash to post a money order over $50. Also, I can't electronically deposit a money order to my credit union like I can a check. Money order are mostly a...

I would like to have a 1894cp (again). They are so handy! Wish I would have seen your post earlier as I would have offered up my 18" 1894 in trade. Good luck with your conversion.

I'm running low on Bullseye and my LGS has IMR Target on the shelf. Anyone used this stuff yet? Is it grain for grain, same as Bullseye? How does it perform?

Maybe they mean the plastic tips on a bullet like a Nosler Ballistic tip? I hear them called heads occasionally in Michigan but I also hear words like "chimley", door wall, and "thish year"...

I'm having first class mail take two weeks to be delivered or more. Priority is a bit faster. About half the days now we don't get any mail, never used to be that way. They are super slow.
